The path isn't a straight line; it’s a spiral. You continually come back to things you thought you understood and see deeper truths. ―Barry H. Gillespie #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmm

In many instances, you have to fight through some bad days in order to arrive at the best days of your life. A few years of grinding could produce a lifetime of freedom.
I go through phases. Somedays I feel like the person I’m supposed to be & then somedays I turn into no one at all. There is both me & my silhouette. I hope that on the days you find me & all I am are darkened lines, you still are willing to be near me. —M Teske
